I joined the RAF before my 18th birthday and spent 8 years both in the UK and at Changi Singapore.

My family (self,wife and three children) emigrated to Australia in 1970 and we have enjoyed the last 35 years in this country.

We live in Queensland on the Sunshine Coast and our 3 children have enriched us with 5 grandchildren. There are four girls and one boy rannging in age from 16 years to 2 and a bit !

Retired now for the last 12 years and still don't know where I got the time to go to work !!
